Reports on online games and their confirmations (Summer 2009 season).

Prince (Blue, Rampart, Kairi, Kairi) def. Smoke_mk (Red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.6. The loot was decent. Elves arrived + a hidden stash near the castle, 2 hidden stashes of centaurs. Fast roads. A group of angels is nearby, and a little further down, giants (as it turned out, 40 of them with an upgraded stack). 1-1-7 with the castle, excluding dwarves and dragons. The road leads up to Confluens, and down to the snow area. There was a metro, but a small one, although with a shield of 12. Result: Kairi 10-27-5-7 with 126 elves, 22 unicorns, 41 dryads, 8 angels, 39 pegasi, and 20 sharpshooters. The only magic is mass haste. He cuts off Gurnisson from his supply line while chasing geese and searching for utopias on neutral territory. I attack. Gurnisson 18-13-9-8 with doubled mana, mass slow, and blindness. 45 harpies, 18 geese, 173 wolves (there was a doubling effect that I didn't pay much attention to), 10 unupgraded monsters, and 158 hobgoblins. Apparently, he didn't have time to take orcs. Angels and pegasi move first, blocking the grand creatures, and then everything goes according to plan. Capitulation. Thanks, Smoke, for the game. I haven't played properly in a long time, and he's been constantly at work lately, so we messed around together until 2.2.6.
